After making the trio I of course had to make Rubeus Hagrid for Norbert’s picture! Since Hagrid is half giant, he is going to be basically double the height and width of the kids. So the kids end up being about 8.5″, Hagrid is 13.5 making him a loveable, huggable giant!

Legs(make two) start with dark brown 8 sc in magic circle inc around *inc, sc* around *inc, sc in next 2* around sc around for 4 rounds dec x8, sc x16 dec x4, sc x16 sc around for 4 rounds, switch to medium brown. Stuff foot and continue to stuff as you go. sc around for 16 rounds. Bind off, but no need to leave a long tail for sewing. Now about joining the legs, what you need to do is hold the legs together and sl st through both the legs four times in the middle where they meet, from the front of the legs to the back. Then continue around the legs. You should end with 4 sl st and 32 sc (16 sc around each leg). Moving on to the body you will forgo the sl st and only work in the sc.
Body continuing with medium brown sc around for 3 rounds and switch to reddish brown sc around for 20 rounds *dec, sc in next 3* around *dec, sc in next 2* around *dec, sc* around dec around, Bind off both, but no need to leave a long tail for sewing.

Then go ahead and put the vest on Hagrid.
Belt in black ch 42, dc in 3rd ch from hook and across, bind off and weave in end. Attach grey/silver yarn in the back loop of the 38th ch, ch 1 and sc in same ch. Sc in next 2 ch then place 3 sc along the side of the belt then 3 more sc in the dcs. Bind off and weave in ends. Taking a black piece of yarn sew belt into place, a little higher than middle, making sure to leave the vest open a little in the front.
Lastly is just the fine touches. I embroidered some eyebrows and a moustache. Then cut some roughly 8″ pieces of yarn and hook into place where the beard would be. I only did 3 rows on the face. For the hair I cut roughly 10-12″ pieces and hooked those onto the head. Lastly, I took my needle and split the yarn completely to give him a very frizzy hair. Trim as needed to shape it up.
Worsted weight yarn (or any weight of your choosing) Size G hook (or whatever hook to make a tight crochet with your yarn) Safety eyes, 9mm Poly-fil for stuffing
Legs(make two) start with black 8 sc in magic circle inc around sc around for 2 rounds dec x4, sc x8 dec x2, sc x8 (by this round it should be 10sc) Stuff foot and continue to stuff as you go and then change to gray sc around for 10 rounds. Bind off, but no need to leave a long tail for sewing.
Now about joining the legs, what you need to do is hold the legs together and sl st through both the legs twice in the middle where they meet, from the front of the legs to the back. Then continue around the legs. You should end with 2 sl st and 16 sc (8 sc around each leg). Moving on to the body you will forgo the sl st and only work in the sc.

Tie So, I played around with quite a few ideas to make this happen… more than I would like to admit for a tie. Now if you would like another way than what I am about to describe, then in one color just ch 21, sc across then use the other color to sew in the stripes. If you want another way, here’s what I did. Essentially you are going to be doing a foundation sc row. On every third sc, change to the next color. Make sure you crochet over the end and carry the unused yarn by crocheting over it. Make 30 foundation sc then just bind off and weave in the ends. Tie it around the neck flipping both ends down. The vest will hold the tie down.
Vest in gray ch 18 (make sure this goes around the doll’s waist) sl st to first sc, making sure not to twist, ch 2 (does not count as a st) dc around, sl st to the beginning ch 2, dc around for 3 rounds, for a total of 4 rounds ch 11, turn and hdc in the 2nd ch and across (10 hdc) then sc in the first dc. Sc in next 3 dc. ch 11, turn and hdc in the 2nd ch and across (10hdc) then sc in next unused dc. Bind off and leave a long end. Slide vest onto the body then sew the vest straps to the vest. Make sure to position the tie inside the vest how you want it to look.
Cloak in black ch 21, turn and sc in each ch, ch 1 and turn *inc, sc* across, ch 1 and turn *inc, sc in next 2, ch 1 and turn sc in next 3, ch 6 and skip 12 sc, sc in next 10, ch 6 and skip 12 sc, sc in next 3, ch 1 and turn sc across in all sc and ch, ch 2 (does not count as stitch) and turn *dc inc, dc in next 3* dc in last, ch 2 and turn dc across for 8 rows ch 1 and sc around the opening and bottom of the cloak, sl st to the first and weave in end Cloak sleeves, repeat on each arm Join the yarn in one of the corners of the sleeve opening. Ch 1 and sc around the opening, sl st to beginning, ch 2 (does not count as stitch) Dc around, sl st to beginning and ch 2. Repeat for a total of 4 rounds. Ch 1 and then sc around, sl st to beginning, bind off and weave in the ends.
Hair in brown I cut about 12″ strands and hooked them onto the head. Then I split the strands apart with the help of a needle to help give that busy effect.
My next picture with my lovely model Norbert I choose to do how she got her name. Of course I couldn’t find suitable patterns, so here I go making my own. For Harry and Ron the only differences are the fine touches really. Harry gets black hair, glasses and the lightning bolt scar. Ron gets red hair. That’s about it.
Worsted weight yarn (or any weight of your choosing) Size G hook (or whatever hook to make a tight crochet with your yarn) Safety eyes, 9mm Poly-fil for stuffing
Legs(make two) start with black 8 sc in magic circle inc around sc around for 2 rounds dec x4, sc x8 dec x2, sc x8 (by this round it should be 10sc) Stuff foot and continue to stuff as you go and then change to grey (don’t bind off, just carry behind) Now, if you like the color change you see in Harry: sc around for 2 rounds, switch back to black sc around for 8 rounds. Bind off both, but no need to leave a long tail for sewing. If you prefer Ron’s leg color change: sc around, switch back to black sc around for 9 rounds. Bind off both, but no need to leave a long tail for sewing.
Now about joining the legs, what you need to do is hold the legs together and sl st through both the legs twice in the middle where they meet, from the front of the legs to the back. Then continue around the legs. You should end with 2 sl st and 16 sc (8 sc around each leg). Moving on to the body you will forgo the sl st and only work in the sc.
Body continuing with black sc around for 3 rounds *dec, 3* x3, sc, make sure to continue to stuff as you go and switch to white sc around for 8 rounds sc, dec, dec, 2 sec, dec, dec dec around, Bind off both, but no need to leave a long tail for sewing.
Arms (make two) start with skin color 6 sc in magic circle inc around sc around for 2 rounds *dec, sc in next 2* around, make sure to stuff lightly as you go and switch to white sc around for 10 rounds. Bind off, leaving a tail to go ahead and sew onto the sides of the body.
Head 6 sc in magic circle inc around *inc, sc* around *inc, sc in next 2* around sc around for 6 rounds, insert safety eyes between rounds 5 and 6 (not counting the magic circle as a round), leaving about 3 sc in between. *dec, sc in next 2* around *dec, sc* around, be sure to stuff dec around, bind off, leaving a tail to go ahead and sew on
Ears (optional) What you’re going to do now is to work the ears right onto the head. Go roughly 5 stitches to the side of the eyes and insert your hook between rounds 8 and 9 and coming up round 8.
Now yo, pull through, yo, pull through the loop, do sc in the same spot, do sc in the next 3 spots moving up the head. Ch 1, turn, sc in each of the 3st, finish off and weave in the tails. Use the ends to help shape the ear a bit. Repeat for the other side of the head.

Ch 1 and then sc around, sl st to beginning, bind off and weave in the ends.
The rest is really just fine touches. For Harry, sew a lightening bolt on the forehead and sew the glasses on. For both add some hair onto the top. For Harry I took about 5″ pieces of yarn to hook them onto the head then I split the 4ply yarn into half using a needle to help. I then gave him a hair cuto to style the hair a bit. For Ron I actually just embroidered the hair on just because when I pose them all together I wanted them to look different. Personally, I am partial to how Harry’s hair turned out.
So as some of you know I have been working on a Norbert Calendar of sorts… essentially our bearded dragon dressed up in crochet with other crochet items around him. Silly, yes, but it has been so fun honestly. Well I was on to month November and could not find a set of Pilgrims and Indians (those being the hardest) that would work. In typical fashion then here goes my own pattern in case others need or want to make up some. They should be roughly 6 inches tall, but the hats make them a little bigger… Also, no, these are not historically correct, they are simple little patterns for what I had in my head as a typical set from when I was growing up. Also, yes, I know I should say Native Americans and no, I’m not going to enter in that debate…
For the base of the body I turned to a wonderful pattern already done since it met my needs for the most part. You can find the basic pattern here in case you want to use it (http://www.amigurumitogo.com/2015/08/wee-ones-basic-body-pattern.html). Also, check out the other patterns she has listed… very nice work!
Using a G hook with some miscellaneous worsted weight yarn I had around and poly fil for stuffing. I went with 6mm safety eyes as well.

Sc around the front to the other tie then bind off, leaving a tail to sew on to the Pilgrim head. Now, to note, I did design the hat a little bit bigger than absolutely necessary. This I did in case I wanted to add hair, but I choose not to. Just know that it might be a little loose or you can add hair if you want.
Now for the Indians
Indian Boy
start with skin color 1) magic circle with 6st (6) 2) 2sc in each st (12) 3) 1sc then 2sc in next st (18) 4) 1sc in next 2st then 2sc in next st (24) 5) 1sc in next 5st then 2sc in next st (28) 6-11) 1sc in each st for 6 rows go ahead and insert safety eyes roughly between rows 7 and 8 about 3 stitches apart 12) 1sc in next 5st then 2tog (24) 13) 1sc in next 2st then 2tog (18) 14) 1sc then 2tog (12) switch to medium brown 15) 1sc then 2sc in next st (18) 16) 1sc in next 2st then 2sc in next st (24) 17-20) 1sc in each st for 4 rows change to dark brown 21-22) 1sc in each st for 2 rows change back to medium brown 23-24) 1sc in each st for 2 rows *stuff head, shape while stuffing 25) 1sc in next 2st then 2tog (18) 26) 1sc then 2tog (12) *stuff body, make sure to stuff more into the head and neck area as needed. 27) 2tog around (6) bind off and sew opening closed.

Hair So I decided the hair was the next step. I simply cut some black yarn about 10-12 inches long and latch hooked them in the head just at the front hair line. I didn’t have a reason to do the whole head, but if you want have fun. I then tied the hair at the nape of the neck with a piece of red yarn. Gave him a slight trim and that was his hair…
Headdress With a green I simply did a chainless sc foundation row (or if you want a chain then go back and sc the length of the chain) the length that would fit his head. This will depend slightly on how thick his hair is and your crochet style. For me, it was a total of 22. Now for the feathers. This is really just like a simple leaf pattern. Make as many as you want to decorate the back of the headdress and in your chosen colors. 1) ch 7, then sc, sc, hdc, dc,hdc, sc 2) now working in the opposite side of the chain, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st. Leave a long tail, weave it back to the bottom of the feather (gives it more stability and helps to close up any spaces) and sew it to the beginning of the chainless sc foundation row. This is going to be the back of the headdress with the feathers against the hair when you sew it on the head. Go ahead and finish sewing the headdress on around his head.

Hair So I decided the hair was the next step. I simply cut some black yarn about 12-13 inches long and latch hooked them in the head just at the front hair line, back and down the middle. I didn’t have a reason to do the whole head, but if you want have fun. I then tied the hair at the sides of the neck with a piece of red yarn. Gave her a slight trim and that was her hair…
Headdress With a green I simply did a chainless sc foundation row (or if you want a chain then go back and sc the length of the chain) the length that would fit her head. This will depend slightly on how thick his hair is and your crochet style. For me, it was a total of 22. Now for the feathers. This is really just like a simple leaf pattern. Make as many as you want to decorate the back of the headdress and in your chosen colors. 1) ch 7, then sc, sc, hdc, dc,hdc, sc 2) now working in the opposite side of the chain, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st. Leave a long tail, weave it back to the bottom of the feather (gives it more stability and helps to close up any spaces) and sew it to the beginning of the chainless sc foundation row. This is going to be the back of the headdress with the feathers against the hair when you sew it on the head. Go ahead and finish sewing the headdress on around her head.
